Review quote

'It is satisfying, powerful, brilliant stuff... In this day and age the word 'epic' is as overused as the word 'vampire' is mocked, but in the Passage Trilogy Justin Cronin has reclaimed them both.' * DEN OF GEEK * "A fitting end to one of the most ambition trilogies we've read in a while. Hopefully we'll see its like again soon." * SCI-FI NOW * Compulsively readable. * NEW YORK TIMES * 'This is positively gripping... Fast-paced, chilling and utterly engrossing this will keep you on edge right until the very end. I absolutely loved it.' * WOMAN'S WAY * Lyrical, towering, a worthy conclusion to what will quickly become a classic of fantasy and horror literature. * LOVE READING * 'Justin Cronin's Passage trilogy is remarkable for the unremitting drive of its narrative, for the breathtaking sweep of its imagined future, and for the clear lucidity of its language. THE CITY OF MIRRORS is a thrilling finale to a trilogy that will stand as one of the great achievements in American fantasy fiction.' * Stephen King *show more
